New Date for Next Session of Dismantling White Supremacy Group, Nov 14

•

The next session of the Dismantling White Supremacy group has been moved from Tuesday, October 24 to Tuesday, November 14, 7:15-8:45 on Zoom.  Since Thanksgiving is right around the corner, in this session we will explore the roots of the Doctrine of Discovery** and how it continues to affect indigenous people up to today.  We will also talk about what really happened at the “original Thanksgiving dinner” and what we can do to recognize the true history when we gather this year with our families and friends.

** The Doctrine of Discovery is the papally-blessed rationale that Europeans used to justify their exploitation of indigenous peoples.

If you would like to attend this session and are not subscribed to the email list, please email dismantlingwhitesupremacy+subscribe@uucpa.org.  Zoom information for the session will be sent to this list prior to November 14.  We welcome new attendees at any time!

Announcing the September Session of Dismantling White Supremacy

•

The Dismantling White Supremacy group will be meeting on Tuesday, September 26 at 7:15 pm on Zoom. This month we will be learning about the Bay Area Housing Finance Authority (BAHFA), an organization that was created in 2019 by the California Legislature. BAHFA’s mandate is to create regional solutions that meet the Bay Area’s affordable housing needs by producing and preserving more affordable housing and protecting our most vulnerable residents. We will also learn about an affordable housing bond measure that BAHFA is proposing for our ballot in 2024. Join us as we learn more about how things work today and how we can help improve the housing situation in the Bay Area!

The Zoom link for Tuesday will be sent to DismantlingWhiteSupremacy@uucpa.org prior to the session. If you would like to attend the session and are not subscribed to this email list, please email dismantlingwhitesupremacy+subscribe@uucpa.org. We welcome new attendees at any time!
